Open Season on hunting Black People, I guess.

Its gonna be rough out there for us. Please be extra super careful, y’all.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

here’s the paper that investigated the otter predation on lil sturgies - when going out to find tags researchers were lead to otter latrines, where they had pooped out sturgeon tags after eating them 😩 cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

These bills are another cruel attempt by Montana Republicans to harass trans people. These bills do not make women safe. They merely infringe on the privacy rights of trans Montanans & endanger us as we live our lives in public. Like 2023's SB 458, I expect this bills to be deemed unconstitutional.

Good thing polio isn't as transmissible as measles

Some #goodnews for your week: Geothermal energy project from the South Side non-profit Blacks for Green could heat and cool Chicago. (Reminds me of one of my favorite @paolobacigalupi.bsky.social short stories). #innovation #climate techxplore.com/news/2025-03...

What's driving the Trump administration? Evil or incompetent? Krugman's answer of both sounds about right paulkrugman.substack.com/p/incompeten...

If people are talking about anything else, they need to stop and focus on this.

This is a horrible, horrible decision by the current administration. Pretending climate change isn't real and failing to collect data about it will not make it go away.

A tiny population of red wolves remain in the wild. A multi-million dollar highway crossing approved in December would have provided a critical lifeline for the species. But then, Trump got in the way. @bengoldfarb.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

It's cruel before coffee, but y'all deserve to hear the truth about nature and the sad lack of carnage that sometimes plagues #2025MMM

#2025MMM watercolor take! The hare was particularly interesting, because there are so few pictures of it a lot of images that come up in search results were actually misID'd! Reminder to check your sources!

WAKE UP AND FIGHT, LITTLE ONE!

Gulp. Might be a challenge for little hispid hare!

A study using both nuclear and mitochondrial markers revealed the Hispid Hare to be most closely related to the European rabbit. #2025MMM academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic...

I feel this!

You can do it, his pie hare!

Unaware of MMMagical transportation into new sands, without eyes and unable to see, Grant's Golden Mole can hunt by detecting vibrations. He continues sand-swimming toward his next meal (Perrin & Fielden 1999; Mason and Narins 2002). #2025MMM
